“ This should be great. We will learn from each other. Mistakes and all. I have jig-sawed windows in the dog house and made plexiglass windows. I have attached a door. ... ”

      “The hens are supposed to be only 4-1/2 months old. I think one of my pullets turned out to be a rooster. Can their first eggs hatch if fertilized? Are they too young? I have three eggs in the refrigerator now. Can they hatch if I put them back out in the coop? I was told not to eat them since they are still on feed with antibiotics in them.”

      “Hi Carol! Um, I don't recall flat-out saying that I want to host the *next* Meetup... and given that there's nearly 30 people in the group, most of whom I haven't yet met, I'm not keen on having a large group of strangers at my property any time soon. Plus, as it's almost winter, there isn't much to see. However, the idea of having a series of small groups tour in the springtime is a possibility that my husband and I are open to. Thank you for thinking of us.”

      “I love the idea. We bought a kit for our first one...I am thinking about getting some scrap wood and building my next one so I can get some more chickens later. Oh, and did your wife have her baby?”

      “Karen - I do not plan to heat our coop. This will be our first winter with the girls. I just put a little extra hay now that it is cold out. A friend of mine has been doing this for a couple years and has never heated the coop. To prevent frostbite, it is best to use something like vaseline on their combs...works really well I have heard. We have 5 and 3 are laying now...so exciting!! Welcome to the group!!”
